Hi all

Trying to make a graph smaller but there is a lot of detail I need to display clearly.
At the moment it`s too unclear and too big.
Any ideas or help very much appreciated.

I would suggest having one dataset per chart with the months on the x axis. Example: filter the chart for "Tippa" and review the monthly results, and then do the same for the other objects (bodies).

Solution
1. Don't use the chart's built-in data table. It's an inflexible and often unreadable mess. Let the audience look at the pivot table to see exact numbers if necessary.

2. Use a horizontal bar chart. This gives much more ability to display horizontal category labels without overlapping.
